On August 8, 1908, at a racetrack outside Paris, Wilbur Wright executed what was, for him, a routine flight: a smooth takeoff banking into a couple of right circles, finally ending in a perfect landing.
The easy flight was over in less than two minutes, but it established Wilbur and Orville Wright as the true leaders of manned flight.
As others developed flying machines, newpapers vilifed the shy and self-effacing Wright brothers as "bluffers." After the Paris flight, however, the Wrights were vindicated, but they were completely unprepared for the ensuing fame.
